From the Publisher
'A masterful study of engineering management'
"An Elegant Puzzle is a masterful study of the challenges and demands of the discipline of engineering management viewed through the prism of systems thinking. Readers can expect an actionable template for addressing complex problems with finesse, creativity and fairness."
—Cindy Sridharan, Distributed Systems Engineer and author of Distributed Systems Observability
'Captures the timeless spirit of creative problem-solving'
"Software engineering is evolving faster than ever before. What principles are durable in a time of so much change and what are the contemporary pain points that may change in the future but cannot be ignored today? In An Elegant Puzzle, Will Larson captures the timeless spirit of creative problem-solving that draws us to software engineering while also providing concrete strategies for modern organizations."
—Jeffrey Meyerson, Host of Software Engineering Daily
'An Elegant Puzzle will become your favorite go-to resource'
"Engineering Managers can often feel like they are struggling to keep their head above the water. Our technical training is missing the frameworks and tools needed to build healthy and productive teams. The insights and step-by-step approach covered in An Elegant Puzzle will become your favorite go-to resource."
—Oren Ellenbogen, VP Engineering at Forter, Curator of Software Lead Weekly newsletter
